EL ELYON

(Heb. ʾēl ʿelyôn)

A name of God, translated “Most High” (cf. Ugar. ʿly). Generally regarded as having derived from the Canaanite creator god worshipped at pre-Israelite Jerusalem (Salem; cf. Gen. 14:18-20), it was adapted as an epithet of Yahweh (cf. Gen. 14:22; Ps. 7:17; 91:9). It is found in the earliest biblical poetry (e.g., Num. 24:16; Deut. 32:8) and later archaizing poetry (e.g., Ps. 78:35; cf. Aram. ʿelyônîn, Dan. 7:18, 22, 25, 27).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
